The video appears to imply that 30 seconds is the default flight time. So I'd estimate 2.5 - 4 minutes of flight time per battery.

- throwaway413 4y agoSo almost 1/10th of the Mini 2 flight time, for 6/10ths the price, and like 2/10ths the featureset and quality of capture. Do people really love Snapchat that much that they’d choose such a trade off for app integration alone? Seems like a tough sell.
- simulate-me 4y agoIt has 0/10th of the controller though.
- ehnto 4y agoI think this is a drone targeted at people who don't want a drone though. If you did want a drone, you wouldn't get this, you can't even fly it around. But if you want drone snaps, this is probably way better than dicking around with a mavic. Click the button, drone snap incoming, and you didn't do squat. No flying, no SD cards or file handling. Drone shot triggered straight from the app, and sent straight back into it.
- notjulianjaynes 4y agoI think there's a psychological component at play here where better = worse. Imagine you're at a party, and someone pulls out their sleek, expensive looking, 4k video drone. Now imagine someone pulls out this obnoxious yellow square frisbee thing. Which of these are you more likely to "act natural" around?
- throwaway413 4y agoPretty interesting point, didn’t think of that. The casualty of it. It is rather intimidating to see someone piloting with a large controller, as opposed to just whipping out their phone like any other time. Definitely makes for a more low-risk social interaction.
